Everything is oversized, overpriced, and created from a byproduct of Texas crude.

I thought he said they were not in a main part of the house, as in, they are not out for everyone to see, tucked into a more private room.
From the article....
Jerseys from the Tour de France, which Armstrong won seven times, from 1999 to 2005, are displayed in the media/game room. “He didn’t want them in a prominent place,” says Materanek. J. Robert Scott spotted pillow print. Dedar fabric on chair and ottoman in foreground. Pollack mohair on side chair. Great Plains wool on cocktail ottoman.

Nice house
I have no problem with someone who has earned their money spending it on whatever the heck they want to.
At least he's still living in Austin, where his roots are, and not Hollywood.

I don't have much taste in architecture, and prefer smaller houses, but he has the money, and it does look impressive. Love him, hate him, or indifferent, Lance Armstrong has done more than any one person to make road cycling widely socially acceptable in Texas, IMHO. After years off bikes, I bought my first road bike in 1998, before Lance Armstrong's first TdF win, and witnessed the the change in attitudes of many motorists toward cyclists riding on the pavement. Not all motorists, of course!

Yeah, but he probably stole his money off the little people.
You never get wealthy honestly. There's always a gimmic. It's never sheer hard work. There's always a trick. Sort of like the guys that actually are good at bike racing. They all cheat.
BTW...Weisel is a national championship rider in his own right. Another thing to hate them for.
Excellent championship rider and rich too.

Bahh. I like the yard and pool more than the house. My sister's house has a full elevator in it and it's only two floors.

Right, can't ride bike up an elevator.
But you can clean a chain in one.
